50 free Dune: Part Two trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Dune: Part Two finished the job the 2021 film started, and this quiz covers the whole of it: the Harkonnen ambush under a solar eclipse, Jessica drinking the Water of Life, Paul's first sandworm, the black-and-white gladiator arena on Giedi Prime, the atomics under the mountain, the Emperor's arrival on Arrakis and the duel that ends with Chani calling a worm and leaving. Early questions suit anyone who has seen it: who plays Feyd-Rautha, what name the Fremen give Paul, who wins the final duel. Later ones go deeper into how it was made: the infrared filters that turned Giedi Prime monochrome, the deal that guaranteed a 45-day cinema window, the Italian tomb used as the Emperor's court, the anime that shaped Paul's arc, the ton of dust blown daily on the worm-riding set, and why Hans Zimmer's score was ruled ineligible for the Oscars. Every answer has been checked against production reporting and the film's own record, and each question links to its source. Our Dune trivia covers Frank Herbert's novels and the 2021 film; this page is for Part Two.

Q 27How did the filmmakers achieve Giedi Prime's black-and-white look?
